It Is an Expsrsive luxury
One of the most changeable articles of
romercG Is whalebone declared a
celer In that commodity In January
ft may be worth 2 a pound and
In April 5 a pound Twenty years
ago it was worth 75 cents a
pound Tne price is governed by the
with shipwreck or the men from any
other cause fail to catch whales the price
on whalebone goes up
Where does mo3t of the whalebone
corse from
The North Pacific ocean furnishes the
largest supply and it is usually brought
to market about November The North
sea catch arrives here about June A
small catch Is made in Hudson bay and
Davis straits Whales are caught there-
at all season of the year and
the bone coming to New Yori
doea not disturb the market A
few years ago the Pacifis whalers would
sometimes run into a port and exchange
some of their cargo for supplies This
would unsettle the market very often
Now the ships go out thoroughly supplied
and they do not often run Ehort The
chief ports in this country where the
whalebone is marketed are San Francisco
and New Bedford
Slabs of whalecone as they are term-
ed are done up in bundles of about 200
pounds each and are sent to market in
this shape In cutting up whalebone
there is a loss of about 20 per cent in the
raw material The hair is worth ten
cents a pound It is mixed with horse-
hair and used for upholstering purposes
It is sometimes used in the manufacture
of brushes

Fiftieth Congress
THE SENATE
Washington Jan 11 Among the
bills Introduced and referred were the
following By Mr Manderson to pro-
vide for minimum invalid pension of 8
a month
Mr Hale made a civil service speech
to day He said At the commencement
of Mr Lincolns administration the pub-
lic offices were filled with the adherents
if that party which was the exponent ol
the doctrine that to the victors belong
the spoils Under that administration
be chief test of fitness was loyalty Not
few of these then appointed had within
he last three years been turned on the
cold charities of the world to make place
for men who never had any sym-
pathy with the principles of which
VIr Lincoln had stood as the great repre
entative General Grant and President
Eayes had during their administrations
recognized the growing sentiments of the
country In favor of civil service reform
and had endeavored to conform their ap-
pointments to the reasonable demand of
that agitation The Fortyseventh Con-
gress Republican had enacted the civil
service statute and President Arthur had
with sincere good fsith appointed
1 civil service commission and
gave support and encouragement to them
He made no proclamation no promises
no pledges but contented himself with
carrying out the law according to its pro
visions and spirit Both great parties in
1834 declared themselves in their plat-
forms in favor of civil service reform but-
s the campaign advanced it was seen
that a considerable body of men who had
before that efiliated with the Republican
oarty had determined to oppose its can-
didate and it soon became clear that
aot only was that body of man bent on
opposing the Republican candidate but
was looking about for reasons to support
his opponent Governor Cleveland the
candidate of the Democratic party had
not failed to observe this and he accord-
ingly professed adherence to the civil
service principles In his letter of accept-
ance Mr Clevelands declaratiors in
that respect had their effect In
the close states they had influence
enough on the voters to be decisive in
result and Mr Cleveland was elected
Mr Hale quoted from en interview with
Mr Cleveland published in Boston in
1885 in which Mr Cleveland is repre-
sented as saying I have iried to be
true to my own pledges and ihe pledges
of my party We both promised to divorce
the offices of the country from being used
for part services Tfcere they
bad as clearly as words could give
them pledges of civil service reformers
That administration had been elected as
Mr George W Curtis and others had
frequently asserted on the strength ol
nch pledges He Hale had never be
lieved in the sincerity of these pledges
because if the Democratic party believed
in any one thing more than another it
was In the doctrine that to the victors
belong the spoils
He had before him a table showing
sweeping changes in all the departments
of the government up to June 11 1837
That table showed that of 2379 presiden-
tial postmasters there had been 2000
changes Out of 52600 fourth clas3 post-
masters there had been 400C0 chances
Out of thirtythree foreign ministers
thirtytwo changes Out of twentyone
secretaries of legation sixteen changes
Oat of 111 collectors of customs 100
changes Thirtytwo surveyors of cus-
toms were all changed Not one of the
six naval officers remained Of thirtysix
appraisers but two remained Of thirteen
superintendents of mines and assay of-
fices there had baen eleven changes
The 9 assistant appraisers were all
gone Of the 85 collectors of internal
revenue
S4 had gone
Of the 11 Inspec
tors of steam vessels 8 were gone Of 70
district attorneys a semi judicial office
65 were changed Ol 30 territorial judges
judicial offices 22 were changed Of the
territorial governors all were gone Of
18 pension agents two remained Every-
one of the 18 surveyor generals was gone
Of 22i local land officers 190 were gone
Of 10 Indian inspectors and special
agents but 1 remained Of 59 Indian
agents but 8 remained At this time
June 1887the Democratic administration
had been but little over two years in
pow r The best comment that he could
make on the table referred to was to
quote the editorial reading of a leading
Democratic newspaper when it exultantly
published that list These headings were
The civil service Practical exclus-
ion of Republicans from employment un-
der the national government Only a
email class of public servants protected
by the Pendleton act Changes effected
with as little derangement of business as
possible Spoilsmen not satisfied
Mr Halo hoped to nave in a few days a
further table showing how this conquer-
ing march of the Democratic
party in pursuit of office had
continued down to the beginning
of this year This showing was amazing
He had not realized it himself until he
had looked into the figures The coun-
try hid not realized ic The country did
not appreciate that under tne banner of
reform with its watchword written on
every fold of the administration flag this
ruthless proscription and these removals
and changes in office had been going
on at a rate unexampled in any
other administration in American history
It could not be said that most of these
changes toas place because of the expira-
tion of terms of the incumbent because
scrutiny disclosed the fact that nineteen
twentieths of all the cases where changes
had occurred were places where there
wa3 no fixed tenure of office
but where the incumbent3 were
removable at the pleasure
of the President Secretary Lamar re-
cently had taken occasion to commend
John C Calhoun for his position against
the spoils system and had felicitated
himself on the fact that he had belonged
to an administration which was carrying
out In that respect the principle of
Calhoun and yet the stern facts whicn
confronted the Senate In the
department presided over by Mr
Lamar was that every terri-
torial governor had been removed
16 out of 18 pension agents every sur-
veyor general fourfifths of the local
land officera ninetenths of the Indian
inspectorsand twothirds of the epecUl
examiners In the pension office and yet
Mr Lamar stood today on record by his
uttered words as against the spoils sys-
tem end posed as a reformer
Passing to the question of the partici
aV fe 0Snt inM p r ° uS j W18T VIRGINIA GUILD
ferred to the meetings of the New York
Pennsylvania and Maryland state conven-
tions at all of which prominent federal
officials had been active partisipants
Mr Hawley asked whether Mr Hale
was sure that there haefbeen no removals
in these cases
Mr Hale replied he had to yet learn not
only of any removals but of any censure
In some cases the officials had been
promoted and in no case had
there been a change made except acci-
dentally or on account of something
entirely disconnected with the adminis-
tration He did not know of a case
where the President had put his strong
hands upon any of these men and made
It seem that he wanted to per-
form what he promised In fact
so gross had been the violation of
every principle of reform and of the
direct pledges of the President that even
the Evening Post of New York had said
of these things that they would be used
in the campaign there with t fleet The
President had not hesitated himself to
deal deadly blows at the cause of re-
form

The Diabolical Deeds of a Band of So
Called Kegnlators Made Pnbiie
A County Terrorized
Professor Pettenkofer states that In Itbey proceed at once to lynch
fand Robert Duff Frank Shamblln
Jones and Jack Parsons The motion
was seconded but was voted down by a-
very small majority The next week a
meeting was neld at the same place and
tne same motion was made and again
lost by a small majority At this meet-
ing four of the members for whom it was
getting too murderous withdrew from
the band The next day the Duffs and
Cook were lynched After George Duff
had been fatally wounded by the lynchers
tiquire Taylor ordered the aerest of Bob
Duff and Chess Cook The next evening
Squire Gardee ordered them to be taken
to Walton The constables discharged
the orders Cook was taken to Joe
Cooks and Duff to David Coxs residence
for the night That night the bandheld
a secret meeting at Linn Gamp school-
house It was decided to iyi ch Cook and
Duff immediately though some voted to
wait until Ben Cook uncle of Chess
Cook one of the men whom they were
going to lynch was elected leader and he
accepted the position Tfcey then went
to Cooks where Chess Cook was took
him out and hanged him Then they
vent to Dave Coxs took Bob Duff out
and cut his hroat He was first slabbed
in the stomach and breast then a gash
was cut In his throat and fioally Duffs
head was held back while one man cut
Besnier therefore exhorts physicians in his throat from year
ill countries to study the fell disease in
order to find means of counterac ing its
ravages for it has active focuses of in-
fection in every part of the globe
Several of the French railway compa-
nies and other public bodies have resolved
to have their printing done on green In-
stead of white paper The reason for the
change is that they believe the combina-
tion of white paper with black characters
endangers the eyesight of their work peo-
ple Black on green has always been
recognized as a good combination and
rrany railway tickets are so printed
According to the American Druggist an
excellent substitute for gum arable is
made as follows Twenty parts of pow

to 122 ° F and poured into tin boxes
where granular mnsses will gradually
separate which look very much like pieces
of gum arabic

Iron says that the steam chest is placed

The latest idea in the direction of wa-
terproof foot wear is a shoe made with a
stout calf skin vamp seamless underly
ing which i3 o vamp of thin rubber and
oetween it and the lining which is of
stout canvas The bottom of the shoe
has a rubber interlining between the out-
er and inner soles and thus the shoe is
about a3 near waterproof as a leather
shoe can be It is said to wear well and
preserve its waterproof qualities for an
indefinite psriod
An astonishing experiment may be per-
formed with no apparatus out a piece of
string five or six feet long A persons
hands being held over his ears this string
is passed around his head by another per-

snd by drawing the fingers or nails of the
other hand over the cord produces upon
the tympanum of the subject impressions
of almost startling intensity Sharp peals
of thunder changing into a distant and
prolonged rumbling are effects that may-
be readily given
Dr Seibert a GermanAmerican physi-
cian in New Yoik a competent authority
on the subject holds that pneumonia is a
house disease and is infectious but not
contagions He says In the warm air
of the house the system is made sensitive
to the cold but the cold is only the pro-
ducing cause It prepares the coddled
lungs for the pneumonia poison which
has its real origin in damp and dirty
rooms or cellars Wcat Is the cure
Well the steps to the cure have unhappily
advanced but little But the relief and
the prevention are no medicine and
plenty of fresh air
Parkkksburg W Va Jan 11 Rev
Thomas P Ryan a noted Methodist min-
ister of this state living in Roane county
about forty miles from here was brutally
murdered In the presence of his family
and at his own honse in October last
He had just returned from conference
with 400 and the purpose of the mur-
der was evidently robbery Within two
or three days after that three young men
Robert and George Duff and Chester
Cock were brutally lynched for the
murder It has been the prevailing
opinion that the lynchers and tae ariir
derers were the same parties andbat
hey lynched the innocent men td co tr
their own crime Since the events just
stated took place Detectives Alfred Bur
nett and Dave Cunningham have been
working up the case and last night for
the first time made public the facts in
regard to the matter Cunningham says
that about the time winter broke
out a number of families came from
Cdnch river Russell county Virginia
and squatted on the Brown estate with
out either buying or leasing the land
and a band was organized which was to
run the neighborhood as it pleased and
protect their rights as equatters
Most of the arrests of the band since
then have been made by members of the
Cook family and by the Duffs In regard
to the more recent doings of tne band
the names of thirtynine members the
pass word and soforth are given The
consolidated band held meetings every
week and at every meeting they took a-
new oath to divulge nothing under pen-
alty of death About three weeks before
Rjan was murdered they held a meeting
i Kentuck at which it was moved that
George
Doc
to year In regard
to the murderers of Ryan being lynched
the detective says We haye secured
evidence enough to prove and will prove
that the men who lynched Cook and the
Duff boys were the same men that mur-
dered the Rtv Thomas P Ryan The
five or six men engaged in the murder of
Ryan do not all live in Roane county I
have their names and they are all In teat
county now with some possible excep-
tions
A number of original letters are also
made public in which prominent citizens
have been warned to leave the county
These warnings are all signed Regu-
lators and are addressed to men and
women The common form is to the de-
struction of property mutilation of the
body or other outrageous conduct The
slightest offense on the part of any one
was punished with a warning and the
person warned generally found it wise to
leave The grips and other signals of the
hand are given The forefinger of the
right hand placed around the thumb is
the signal for a meeting when its dark
and the same finger thiust into the hand
that a meeting was to be held at once
and ia the day time The men make oath
to the above statement and a number of
affidavits accompany the publication
SOKE OVEKGROWS SPIDEKS
Formidable Oraatnrea thnt Prey Upon
Lizards and Bird
Little Folks
A great many plants animals end in-
sects which are familiar within our more
temperate climate attain much larger size
in the hot tropical regions of the globe
end none perhaps are more remarkable
in this respect than the different classes
of spiders
You have been told of the huge black
hairylegged tarantula with his great
staring beadlike eyes snd long cruel
forceps or nippers who lurks in dark
corners and stows himself in the toes ol
your boots and other unexp cted places
but as a general rule he can be avoided
and the web he spins interferes but little
with any one But there are other spiders
equally large and quite as formidable
that spread their nets across roads and
pathe much to the occasional discomfort
of unwary horsemen or short sighted folk
on foot
Up in the mountains of Ceylon and In-
dia there is a fellow of this kind that
spins a web like bright yellow silk the
central net of whichis Ave feet in diam-
eter while the supporting lines or guys
as they aie called measure sometimes ten-
or twelve feet long and riding quickly in
the early morning you may dash right
into it the stout threads twining around
your face like a lace veil while as the
creature who has woven it takes up his
position in tha middle he generally
catches you right on the noseand though
he seldom bites or stings the contact of
his large body and long legs Is anything
but pleasant If you do forget yourself
and try to catch him bite he will and
though not venomous as his jaws are as
powerful as a birds beak you are not
likely to forget the encounter
The bodies of these Spiders are very
handsomely decorated being bright gold
or scarlet underneath while the upper
part is covered with the most delicate
slatecolored fur So strong are the
webs that birds the size of larks are fre-
quently caught therein snd even the
small but powerful scaly lizard falls a
victim
Often have I plunged into their fold
when out collecting plants in the dim
light of a tropical forest and often have
I sat ana wstchea the yellow or
scarlet monster measuring when wait-
ing for his prey with Lis legs stretched
out fully six inches striding across
the middle of the net and noted the rapid
manner in which he winds his stout
reds around the unfortunate
AMinrster of tha Gopei end Three Yours i captive
He throws
Men
LyncheduetecivrB on the usually the coils about the
Xrall of the Landers

blinded and then choked
In many unfrequented dark nooks of
the jangle you come across almost p rfect
skeletons of small birds caught in these
terrible snares the strong folds of which
prevent the delicate bones from falling to
the ground after the wind and weather
have dispersed the flesb ad feathers for
the spider seldom makes tnore than one
mel after whico he s jjlis another web
for fresh victims s V i

A new method of preparing cellulose
has according to a German paper been
recently patented by a Mr Kellner of
Podgera Austria The inventor pro-
duces the pulp by decomposing electrical-
ly a solution of certain chlorides such as
common salt and allowing the chlorine
gas thus obtained to act in straw wood
or other material of similar constitution
The direction of the current is frequently
changed so that the vecetable fibres are
subjected to the action of alkaline
hydrates as well as that of the chlorine
It haB been stated that the process has
been in operation for some time 3nd that
from 170 to 180 pounds of fibre are pro-
duced at each filling
